MakerBot, a global leader in desktop 3D printing, is known for
bringing the future to the present with its MakerBot Replicator® Desktop
3D Printers. But one item that combines today’s 3D printing technology
with the allure of something totally retro is the MakerBot Mixtape. The
MakerBot Mixtape was one of the first items MakerBot recreated through
3D printing. Originally sold online, the MakerBot Mixtape was so
popular, it sold out every time it was made available. Now, MakerBot is
gearing up for this blast from the past by 3D printing a variety of
color combinations to appeal to music lovers of all kinds, from rock ‘n’
rollers to those with a more classical leaning.

The redesigned MakerBot Mixtape is an all-new 3D printed cassette tape
with an MP3 player embedded inside. With an improved user interface, the
MakerBot Mixtape offers drag and drop files just like a USB drive. It
has 4GB of storage and holds favorite tunes and playlists and will even
store 3D printing STL files so you have access to your favorite 3D
prints right from your pocket.

“Everyone goes wild for the MakerBot Mixtape,” noted Bre Pettis, CEO of
MakerBot. “It’s retro, it’s cool, it’s colorful, and it’s musical. All
of that, plus the fact that it’s 3D printed, make it, in my eyes, one of
the most unusual and talked about items we sell. We are happy to bring
the MakerBot Mixtape back and offer it exclusively in our MakerBot
Retail Stores for our customers.”

The MakerBot Mixtape is available only at the MakerBot Retail Stores in
New York, Boston and Greenwich, Connecticut. It sells for $40 and comes
in a variety of color combinations. For more information on MakerBot
